The final post by Larry
I apologize to my fellow rawhides for my deliquency in the ending days of the Month in the Raw. As I slid off the raw diet I found it hard to show my face around here. In closing, I thought I would address my feelings using the template already produced by my colleague.
Q: Are you happy you did this experiment?
A: Sure, I believe trying new things is the path to enlightenment even if they are challenging or painful. Failing to embrace all new things is part of that path. Ditto, for recognizing that others might come to alternative conclusions.
Q: How have you changed as a result of A Month in the Raw?
A: Very little I guess. One benefit is getting to know some coworkers better. It was a reminder to me that I have some self control, even if I am unable to apply it for the entire 4 weeks.
Q: Do you think there are real benefits to eating raw?
A: Not in the way that so many claim. Most of what you read when you Google “raw food” is magical thinking. Obviously eating a diet rich in produce is much better than the typical American diet.
Q: Will you continuing eating raw?
A: I ate raw before, I will again. I won’t follow the “Raw Diet” ever again. I discovered many foods on the raw diet that I will continue to eat. I certainly have a different relationship with the produce section now. I have eaten more honey in the last month than in the last 10 years, I will probably continue to use it more often.
Q: Would you recommend others try this experiment?
A: But of course.
